HR 991: Coffee, Craig; commend

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Craig Coffee, who has worked in Georgia's real estate regulatory system for decades, including as Executive Director of the Georgia Real Estate Board and previously as Deputy Real Estate Commissioner with the Georgia Real Estate Commission for 18 years. It also notes his election as President of the Association of Real Estate License Law Officials in 2016 and his 2023 ARELLO President's Service Award. The resolution does not change any law.
